## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Delcampe Scraper - Stamps, Coins & Collectibles

Scrape collectibles listings from [Delcampe.net](https://www.delcampe.net), one of the world's largest marketplaces for stamps, coins, postcards, banknotes, trading cards, and other collectibles.

Search by keyword and get structured data for every matching listing: title, price, currency, sale type (fixed price or auction), current bid, seller, location, listing URL, and image.

### Features

- 🔎 **Keyword search** — pass one or more search queries; each is searched and paginated independently
- 💰 **Price & currency** — parsed numeric price plus the original price string and detected currency
- 🏷️ **Sale type** — distinguishes fixed-price listings from auctions (with current bid)
- 🚚 **Free shipping flag** — detects "Free shipping" listings
- 👤 **Optional detail enrichment** — enable `scrapeDetails` to add seller name, seller feedback %, item location, country, and number of bids from each listing's detail page
- 🤖 **Residential proxy by default** — avoids per-IP rate limits, polite request pacing built in
- 🔁 **Automatic dedupe** — sponsored/ad listings that repeat across pages are filtered out

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `searchQueries` | array | Keywords to search (e.g. `["France stamps", "silver coins"]`). Defaults to `["stamps"]`. |
| `maxResults` | integer | Max total listings across all queries. `0` = unlimited. Default `50`. |
| `scrapeDetails` | boolean | Visit each listing page for seller/location/bids. Slower. Default `false`. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Proxy settings. Defaults to Apify Residential proxy. |

#### Example input

```json
{
    "searchQueries": ["vintage postcards", "silver coins"],
    "maxResults": 100,
    "scrapeDetails": true,
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}
````

### Output

Each dataset item looks like:

```json
{
    "itemId": "2568783698",
    "title": "Test Booklet, Test Stamp, Specimen, Pureba Edvard Grieg 1986",
    "price": 112.68,
    "priceText": "± $112.68",
    "currency": "USD",
    "listingType": "fixed_price",
    "currentBid": null,
    "freeShipping": true,
    "seller": "delikat86",
    "sellerFeedback": "100%",
    "location": "Germany",
    "country": "Germany",
    "numBids": null,
    "searchQuery": "stamps",
    "listingUrl": "https://www.delcampe.net/en_US/collectibles/stamps/norway/proofs-reprints/...-2568783698.html",
    "imageUrl": "https://www.delcampe.net/static/img_thumb/auction/002/568/783/698_001.jpg?v=1",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-06-24T18:50:00.000Z"
}
```

(`seller`, `sellerFeedback`, `location`, `country`, and `numBids` are only populated when `scrapeDetails` is enabled.)

### Use cases

- Track collectible prices and arbitrage opportunities across stamps, coins, and cards
- Monitor new listings in a niche category
- Build datasets for collectibles market research
- Feed price-comparison tools, alerts, and dashboards

### Pricing

This Actor uses **pay-per-event** pricing: a small fee per result returned, plus a tiny actor-start fee. You only pay for the listings you actually collect.

### Notes

Delcampe is a public marketplace. This Actor scrapes only publicly visible listing data. Please use responsibly and respect Delcampe's terms of service.

# Actor input Schema

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

One or more keywords to search across Delcampe collectibles (e.g. 'France stamps', 'silver coins', 'vintage postcards', 'Pokemon card'). Each query is searched and paginated independently. Leave empty to default to 'stamps'.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum total number of listings to scrape across all queries. Set to 0 for unlimited (all available results). Default is 50.

## `scrapeDetails` (type: `boolean`):

If enabled, visit each listing's detail page to add seller name, seller feedback, item location, country, and number of bids. Slower and uses more requests.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings. Defaults to Apify Residential proxy (recommended — Delcampe rate-limits per IP).

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "searchQueries": [
    "France stamps",
    "silver coins"
  ],
  "maxResults": 50,
  "scrapeDetails": false,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
